#[Delta: Ninja Thief] New Unit Megathread
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
playing 7 accounts what a chad
Arcana only a must pull for electric raids, so not counting her 
i play 1 and get tired 
One is R only run 
There’s precedent of unit release that doesn’t really fit and continues to never fit afterwards
Sora could be considered one for all but the most dedicated pvpers
Others:
- original Ade
- Bay
- Clay
- Crust
- Flora (debatable)
- Zwei (debatable)
Trash emote already for Delta?
And then Tove was just half a year before her time 
40s burst with frequent but weak healing and small buffs
More a unit for newer/weaker players to fill slots while waiting for more meta units/dupes for treasures
I avoided listing some of the more “common sense” ones that wouldn’t fit - like Smol White, or Rapunzel: Pure Grace, or Mori. Or even Nihilister. I also avoided seasonal units.
But compared to the entire pool of units, I guess being able to list just 7 busts (with Sora included), means ShiftUp rarely releases total busts for standard pool pickup banners.
So she is quality Anni bait
Some like Tove takes a while to come into their own, as new units are released.. small chance it happens to Ninja Delta, but could
But overall mostly eye candy
Ah, yeah, I skipped over units that were useful for their time. I should’ve listed Quiry though, very few touched her for PvP. That’d be 8 standard pool pickup busts then… at least
I think Ninja Delta is too useful to be really a bust but veterans don’t need her. So idk? A pseudo-bust? 
She looks to be a unit for The 12233 setup
Nero and Moran became CA stars so not counting them. Same with not counting Tove even though she was trash for months
CA which is relevant for less than 1% of playerbase probably 
If I go there, I’d have to start counting certain raid units as busts. Like K 
Maiden: Ice Rose, Guillotine: Winter Slayer - white dragon sr
Rapi: Red Hood, Scarlet: Black Shadow - mod sr
Mana - ur
Mast: Romantic Maid, Anchor: Innocent Maid - ur
Asuka: Wille, Rei Ayanami (Tentative Name), Asuka Shikinami Langley, Rei Ayanami, Mari Makinami Illustrious - MO sr
Trina - ur
Bready - bs sr
Crust - ur
Siren/Mihara - gluttony sr
K - ur
arcana - ur
Eve/raven - prov sr
Sora + 2b/a2 - ur
Sdorothy/Selegg - kraken sr
Emma Eunhwa Vesti TUs - zizz sr
Bade Bmilk - mw sr
Ada Jill - gluttony2 sr
iirc it went like that?
Winter SR was White Ice Dragon (Nihilister Water)
right
Trina/Scarlet is so meh for SR.. I wonder if they held back due to concerns over pvp. Isabel actually felt like a pilgrim this raid. Anyway outside of anni lots of skips/borderline skips this year
i skipped crust k sora, argueably TU and jill could be skips but borderline useable on their own sr (likely dead next sr)
i think everything else has a use
Partially Tove giving AS buffs which is a straight dps buff
I told you.
And everyone.
Arca Isa will 100% be used this raid but not Scar Trina.
Well not like we have alternative DPS to Scar Trina yet anyway.
Yeah, I was right.
Scar Trina didn't get used at least by Kira.
Interesting comps ngl.
I did expect T4.
T3 with ExiaTr is unexpected but it makes sense. T2 is kinda expected (didn't know DrakeTr would be better than Doropity, though).
T1 is wild, but if you think about it, it makes sense too.
MastM, Liter, Crown, Crown + Helm all can buff Cindy's Burst. It's well thought out.
T5 is just, let's slap whatever remains together and pick the best one.
So, analyzing back, there were 4 "funnel" teams here.
Wym u were so against me saying Isabel arcana 
~~i ended up not investing in her after spreading propaganda ~~
No.
I never said I was against you.
More like I didn't realize you were suggesting Tove Isa Arca.
I was against Trina Scar.

I never believed in Trina scar arcana Isabel I think that was the least likely outcome
I thought either tove or with Cindy to get more Cindy bursts
Yes
Pre raid
I already felt like Arca Isa would be a must.
I told people in Maincord no Arca Isa = doom.
Scarlet believers in shambles
I pulled arcana cuz I knew she looked stonks
But I didn't invest
Scar Trina doesn't support like Arca Isa.

People think they are the same.
Cus Scar and Isa deal the same damage in Scar Trina Arca Isa team
But they're dumb
Scar trina shafts ur 2nd dps
Arcana Isabel boofs ur 2nd dps
With more bursts
While being stacked on buffs
Arca Isa are also supports 
Tove + Isabel + Arcana + Dolla + Drake, right?
Yes
I was like 50-50 whether Scar Trina would be used when I tried to cook
But I knew for sure Arca Isa had 100% use chance
Tbh I thought scar trina would be t5 but I was also set on not building jill
Yeah, I thought Doropity would be better than DrakeTr, but I guess more funneling is better.
I mean Arcana is an SG too.
But I think it depends on Isa and Arca investments.
I don't think changing from scar trina to Jill would have been good aside from topest of top ranks
Because scar trina already likely has investment from pvp > the DMG diff prob wouldn't have mattered
Jill was definitely more investment friendly.
Vs investing in a Trina Isabel instead
Yea but scar trina already pops up in pvp
Ya
I think Anniv is gonna be Water
This time Bready will no longer be an optional investment. Well she has never been but I didn't see reason investing in Water.
If Anniv is Water, you will invest in Anni units anyway,
So now there's reason to invest in Bready.
So preparation tip for T50/100/200 chasers, Bready is a must.
I already invested in bready
I didn't invest into xguillo phantom as much I hope they get benched
For ani
Nah.
They have like 30-50% chance of use.
But I think investments in the anni units will be the determiner.
I've had bready maxed since black snake cuz I used her for clear
The 109 CD/h was calling me
Whale.
I do think phantom and xguillo r weakest links for replacement tho
Like useable but not really amazing
So I didn't go hard I hope Ani replaces them
30-50% chance for me are usable but not guarantee use.
As in some people will use them.
Some won't.
Still the biggest determiner will be anniv units cus funnel.
And moderately Bready, QQ, HelmTr, and XLud.
I was talking about my investment 
I didn't put many rocks into Stellar Blade units cuz iron is my dump element
Oh game is up?
it is
20 pulls. Time to try
her portrait is peak
28 single pulls. Plus she's cute, so I can't be mad.
Cannot even test as cannot level up skills 
Shows normal for me
Wait i restart
Oh you didn’t restart yet
thought that was even after restart
Ok test her now 
Considering that your Delta has literally half as much combat power as your Treasure Helm, probably not. That's pretty good returns for maxing out just one skill.
Also, a more fair comparison would probably be Mast vs. Delta
Try xlud
And also without eve
Also did you have same amount of bursts
Helmt team should gen faster in auto still I think
In this team she only gives 12% of damage taken and healing?
Mast will 100% do better so i didn't bother testing
I did full auto. Manual should be faster actually
For a flex unit i think she's not a bad option if helmt is needed somewhere else
The supposed kiss of death for any gacha game 🙁
aa shiet dont be like that haha, isnt that nier automata 
Already had two, neither of which I was here for....but Nier is a collab slut anyways. I think we're safe
We already have "Persona at home" anyways lol
no
ok ty
i dont know how u guys can resist those ninja bazookas
I can after 90 pulls no SSR, i got one copy at 100 pulls and done
that sounds to me like u did not resist after 90 and still went 
i mean ain't no way 100 pulls no SSR
Hi
Helm higher damage overall on auto due to the faster burst gen
If just considering 12FB in total. Helm still had about 15s remaining
anniv next banner
I want ninja bazookas more
So yeah, good unit for people who don't have the dupes to get Helm treasure confirmed
If only poli treasure didnt only added pvp kits instead of actual kits buff
Delta kinda make a good pair with her both defender b2 40s
But alas
I was telling everyone isabel would be op this raid tho xd.. scarlet trina I knew they weren't as good.. but didn't expect THAT bad.. at least jill doesn't require a support that's not great for other units.. could def see scarlet gone (at least with trina) by next raid
Biggest issue with Trina is that her best buffs only affect Scarlet
The other unit with her basically gets nothing aside from MAYBE the burst damage bonus in the case of, say, Raven
And Scarlet doesn't have 2025 hypercarry DPS
Yeh hypercarry need to be 2bn +.. my scarlet wasn't even close to that lol
Though stats showed that Trina was still one of the best options for T5 
Only 16% less usage than Arcana
Almost tied with Mari and 22% above Grave
Main reason I didn't want to pull 
I couldn't find a place for grave myself
Grave was screwed kit-wise this time
anyone know deltas skill prio?
Only benefit she gave really was burst gen
S1 > S2, but honestly don't go past 4/4/4 atm

No point in investing until she has a use-case
k ty
Trina just needed to work with 2 elec AR
I hope we get skill reset.. i used my limited resources on delta 
For a more constructive post than just "Skip":
Delta NT is a comfortable flex unit who provides a mixture of healing and buffs, albeit with lackluster potency in both.
She shines primarily for F2P and newer players who still lack Helm's treasure or who can't run solo raid with healers on a consistent basis.
She likely won't see use outside of raids, as we already have healers and buffers of significantly higher potency in the wishlist pool.
Her banner should still be up by the time we see the kits for the anniversary units, and she should be added to the standard pull immediately in the anni update, so, waiting until the end of the banner is highly advised should you be considering pulling.
TL;DR: Low priority comfort unit. Leaving for wishlist is ideal in favor of anni/Xmas/NY units
Now back to work I go 
holy shiet her taunt effect looks so damn cool... she makes a hologram decoy or something
I am tweaking so bad.. really like her design.. but i know i should wait till anni kits are released 
Damn. Her design is top tier. Not so much for her kits. 
seeegg now 
not to mention she has the best machinegun shooting animation yet, everyone else (aside from summer elegg) stiff as a board
but helm can be obtained everywhere 🙁
sad to say she's not gonna be seen like that in a daily baiss.. i mean compared to meta ones that you use for like anything... she's only be benched..
i mean my head agrees but my other head... 
Yes, but someone in my union has been playing since first half-anni and still only has 1LB Helm
Luck is a thing 
Have another union mate from first half-anni who has never rolled Privaty. LB0 from freebie
Yeah, the Privaty union mate also still has no SW 
I can't get Isabel for the life of me.
I have every Pilgrim besides her. I just want her to have her.
thought my PvP investments in scarlet Trina would work out in pve but yikes
They dogshit
Did they nerf Scarlet in PvP? I haven't touched PvP in a long time so I wouldn't know.
Delta tier: ? ? B C
Maybe
Phatom Thief.
huehuehuehue
Seriously, Phantom Thief squad is a joke 
Gameplay match lore
Nah, man. Nothing further from the truth. Just add jackal, maybe a healer and make sure is a 2 shot burst and you are set.
Jackal, in solo raid?
trust the plan
she's caca if you only care about one team but she can help with balancing teams
so basically SR only unit
but she revives maids kind of
new bready tech copium
oh i skipped bready
1 delta burst - 4 crown bursts to keep bready shooting
but she's so fucking fat
cringe
ahh okay, you should ask for a flair
doc said no more special snowflake roles
she's the only unit I refused to pull on bc of her looks 
except cdub because he deserves it for all the pain he went thorugh
delta HAS to play with crown or she fucking dies instantly
so might as well go all out on her team
it's funny how delta is team 1 or team bench with no inbetween
otherwise you'd have to invest in so much delta to make her worth it
Crown, Centi, blanc
off the top of my head, but I just closed nikke
basically those + cindy
you could bunny revival her with blanc for 52% damage taken up
and how many of those would be able to play with delta
if they stack
blanc can't go 2b2 because she's 60s without bunny
so you have to run bursting noir or rouge in a cindyless team
Delta basically has 2 team options
i meant bursting noir
blanc noir has the issue of rouge doing barely anything for units that aren't cindy and cindy team already has an off burst unit
the team I just tossed up should be decentish, but it's kind of a stretch to call her worth it
esp with anniversary around the corner
iirc this is the last event before anni
i think delta basically has 2 teams, crown team 1 that lets you use helm and maids elsewhere, or cindy if you don't have xmaiden
depends on how bad being perma taunted is too
you could put her with a different b2 but she'll probably die
it's traditionally been so bad that the only ones who can survive are things with invuln phases
also she'll need a healer because taunt delta doesn't self heal
like noah or makima or crown
basically she's a SR only unit if you really like bready but don't want to waste maids on her
but you have to waste crown on her
depends
crown delta is worse than crown mast and maybe crown helm but it gives you a lot of flexibility
also maybe anni will have more defenders
probably not because this is the bait banner and they don't usually balance for them
if any of the 3 new pilgrims are defenders delta gains a lot of value
also she's a slot 5 unit that doesn't need overloads and barely needs skill levels
that's probably important
if anyone wasted 100 rocks and a billion books getting xmaiden or selegg to 10/10/10 12/12
3s refresh shield means vs bosses she won't die quickly 
Lemme get on computer and I'll actually test her vs Harvester 
Yeah, looks like Delta is perfectly fine vs single-hit attacks due to the very fast shield regeneration
Harvesters beams can't hurt her
The machine guns are a problem since I'm running her 4/4/4 with +0 T9s and R0 doll tho 
Shield HP is insufficient
Crown died 7 seconds from the end
M Mast at home 
Died basically the same time Crown did
So, with M Anchor's help, actually survived almost the entire fight with taunt vs Harvester with only +0 T9M gear
So that's another thought
Delta can function as a lesser M Mast when M Mast is used with Crown 
In fact, with M Mast, I can't actually keep Siren alive on 99% FA
Though, if manually controlled to make sure everyone lives, obviously M Mast is far superior to Delta 
More or Less same Damage Amp as Xlud's dmg amplification
without the damage of Xlud herself
Yup
You're trading off extra DPS for healing, basically
Although with distr damage DPS, the DPS loss would be less
Manual Kraken (M Mast at Home: Seamaids Edition™)
Anchor/Crown at Home™ 
M Mast at Home: Crown Edition™ (alternating bursts)

B Alice for comparison
vs off-burst Delta (only Crown bursts)
So Delta > B Alice in the cases where B Alice is used 
Yeah, testing her out, I feel like she's basically a Jack of All Trades, Master of None unit
She takes traits from Crown, M Mast, and M Anchor and puts them together, inferior to each of them individually in order to provide flexibility
She'll be quite useful for anyone missing any of those units 
Have past pre-anni units given any insight into anni unit kits? Like, as an example, would Delta be designed to work with Nayuta or whoever we get?
I'm just starving for Nayuta info tbh
Not the units directly before, no
Quiry was pre-Red Hood, and Rumani was pre-Cindy
Rouge, who was the precursor support for Cindy, was three events prior
Tia/Naga, who were Red Hood's main supports for a long time, were two events prior
okie dokie, 'tis my first anni, so I have no idea what to expect
Expect a must pull unit
Yeah, we'll want both
And we'll hopefully see their kits during the stream
We always get at least summarized versions, and most of the time, the JP stream actually reads out the skills
Manifesting anniversary unit that converts over healing into dmg that would make delta usable
Delta is already quite usable. Just not meta 
Nicee
Compared to Sora, who was so bad I don't even remember her kit (nor own her even on my whale account
)
Shame since I actually liked her
Also, we'll 100% know the kits before Delta's banner ends
a hair over 800 mileage, 40 or so rainbow tickets, 35k and some change gems. Will probably buy the entire step-up package before it leaves in the next few days (still mulling that one over). I'm just super hyped for Nayuta right now. Hopefully I can stick her in my campaign team
so if by chance Delta's kit is somehow meta for one of those units, we'll still have a chance to pull for her before the update drops and banner ends

Do you see a world where it's beneficial/more overall SR damage.. to give delta to crown, reunite Maids and helm to another team?
Na.. now I think more.. anni will surely bring a broken support
I think she will be also in the step up selector, at the end of the year
really late but can i see a comparison with mana on this boss/comp
I can relogin in a second, though note my main account's Mana is very low investment (my alt has 10/10/10)
4/4/5 Mana, +0 T9Ms
About to pass out, but, if I manage to get Delta in 10 pulls on alt, I'll compare her with full invest Mana. Just can't cross compare between accounts cuz my alt is a wind main with crazy good Siren/SBS/Wasuka compared to my main 
thx
SO is Delta any good? Before I fully commit to skipping her?
Maybe quick to see community verdict with there not being a raid to wait for.
But rn hearing not so great for her kit in comparison to the eye candy she has.
isnt that just saying give helmT to crown and reunite maids which is a dps loss
Doesn't help that she's a 40s B2 Nikke.
Yeah forcing to go the 12233 approach.
Which already takes a massive shit all over her usage unless your name is Mast or Anchor.
Yeah they the exception since they cover their weak points.
Or in the case of Mast, pairs perfectly with Crown for maximum damage.
I hear of her in PvP, but I'm not too sure.
Helm went to mihara/miranda team last fire raid. So on fire you could have crown/delta, maids, helm/miranda.. probably not tho because the go to seems to stack team 1 and 2 generally..
Fire has what..
Rapi/crown + mast
Mihara/miranda
Shotgun/Drake
Grave team
Asuka/rei
Modernia gets chucked in somewhere
Yeah doesn't seem worth splitting mast from crown.. asuka is useless without core.. and modernia doesn't fit with maids either.. I cant even trick myself into pulling
fire also doesnt have a good target to reunite maids on 
closest is wind raid i think
the question is do you want to use helm burst on wind raid, maybe?
and how much gain are you getting for this unit
Oh I forgot alice
because i asume we will see maids sbs alice -> crown asuka rei siren
Wind has so little options probably best to just stack for one or two comps
Ok I am convinced she's pretty useless
the real exception will come when we see ani kits tbh
maybe we get some copium big dist dmg burster that wants crown
or we will see a new support and completely dumpster her more
DELTA: NINJA THIEF REVIEW
TL/DR Skip/filler unit. DeltaNT skill value is too low to warrant a 40 sec cooldown, much less abysmal buffs. dmg taken is not enough to make her even slightly usable.
MLB On a side note, she is absolutely breathtaking. And unlike jill and ada, the burst animation is realy good. Waifu pull only!
**B Story /...
@visual pond ☝️
Lol is this guy legit?
you think its too high ratings?
Boss neutral or not doesn't matter she no dps
standard tierlist format
Maid mast or normal mast?
max rating should be same as prydwen so SSS
and no, she is unusable in any investment
👍 only option is "I miss half the units, so can she work?"
Maid Mast.
What spot would she even fill until you get...whatever Nikke you're missing?
In theory I mean.
She's usable though. Heals and debuffs are useful
Wdym over who? You look at the kit, she's not bad per se. She's fine if you want to use her
I miss any burst 2 that is 20 seconds
realistically, I would give her a notch over SR anis for new players
she is really bad per see
im sorry, what do you consider good?
incorrect
jill is super niche selfish dps
over neutral unbuilt neutral option she is >
Wrong reply

Jill does yr 2023 dmg
and still can be used over unbuilt neutrals
not the best, not even close to an alright option
but its there
on the other side, delta is so underwhelming that I could use an SR unit over her
40 seconds of cd is really, really bad
20 sec cd wouldnt save her, but 40 seconds kill her
and also, the only usable part of the essay kit is the 20% dmg taken at maxed skills
We are at the point where 40s doesn't matter. Its the kit
so just because you want to force her use she should be higher tier?
But she's alright imo
I disagree 
So what is C tier?
alright is crust
alright is idk
A tier is Alright
Bad
Complete unusable
something along those lines
You rather put crust in A and delta in C
What is this?
Even bready didn't even use her
Sustained dmg rather use sRosanna
But she's unused?
crust basically exists for bready so if it's not a water raid she's not going to get used
and Bready has giga inflated attack so her mid attack buffs aren't even that good
Crust is a walking distributed damage buff and only SBS/Bready do relevant distributed damage
if you want to run them you can probably give them maids
isnt she a better flex than thelm for crown in some scenarios where you have sufficient burst gen for her buff uptime ? 
ofc if you need healing
who is really using delta with crown
in a real scenario
same as delta will be
and delta will follow suit 
that's very doubtful
unless it's a boss that consistently bypasses shield or does many instances of dmg very fast
even having a delta living through 2 min then dying is higher dmg than using balice
delta should be around neutral xlud in that rating (assuming offburst)
i can see her being used on wind-weak in a crown/siren team, eg siren/crown/wasuka/wrei/delta, so you get the most out of siren's dps while having better buffs than thelm
why ?
she will held the team back
its lower final damage
and survival is not that important anymore
a lot of bosses can be tackled without healers
and the few cases that do need
we have better options
i dont know what you mean tbh, i know shes not a must to have, but still shes fine as SR unit, she's on par with thelm with buffs and does heal
on my testings
that did not hold true
final dmg was low
way too low
to even warrant wasting a slot
shes does better than thelm as flex, but you need to have sufficient burst gen for that, like in this example
can I copy the setup and run myself?
but oh well
rapu/marci over delta in there did a shy 8%-10% less
also those teams are pretty pilgrim heavy
idk man, saying she is a good flex over several other b2 is unrealistic
and btw, that she has more final dmg as helm is pretty unreal too
is that helm 0 ele 0 atk 0 ammo?
come on...
now that I see this, you should discart all xlud self dmg?
I cannot see that holding true
at all
its very little improvement vs units that just heal
if the whole argument is "use with crown" then be my guest to justify using her over anyone else that is better
what in the copium
any reasonable Helm would not be doing piss poor off-burst damage
how much of that is Delta is good
and how much of that is B1 personal damage from one extra MG
+140mil gain on Siren personal damage in fire weak?
all these hyper optimistic pairings
in which scenario would you allow Crown to be wasted with DeltaNT
less personal dmg, but getting heals/taunt, aka, better team sustain
against bosses with primarily st attacks, a decent delta should replace a healer like balice fairly well
if you consider 12% dmg taken very little improvement, then ig ppl using off-burst xlud should have just ran any other off-burst dps instead 
and ig eve's only job ever in hyper rapi is personal dmg
since that 10% dmg taken is useless
I dont remember a boss I was forced to use a healer into aside from hard 38 and hard 40
and maybe the anchor shenanigans
who tf using delta in campaign
yeah those are guys with max core max doll like everything, and sweats
im f2p and didnt since prob black snake
if we use them as the sole guide for unit usability, then ig balice is same tier as crow
actually she does give ammo, but that's all she'll ever offer yeah?
balice crown is the actual brick
so square 1
12% dmg taken
too few
it's why xlud off-burst is used (well not so popular these days)
and others burst 2 exist
and why eve is good on hyper rapi
delta burst doesn't matter
unless niche comp
she's off-burst in almost all use cases
I dont see anyone using crown either alone or with mmast/naga/helmt
aside from people that want to force delta use
she will prob never be used in raids
why is Crown still in the conversation
do we really need this unrealistic "best case" scenario
in order to justify DeltaNT
any sensible player would not be running this
delta doesn't need to be forced to put in crown, although that is possible
well if there is no crown
assuming there's a core-less raid where you want to run maids + helmt (dot ig) + crown
delta solo just needs to be able to survive vs boss, which prob is invest and boss dependent
what boss we talking about man
unless it's a boss that actually requires 0 healing
boss doing too much dmg for no healer (xlud), few enough attacks to not need high heals (balice)
in what element even too
element doesn't matter
im muting this channel
not sure why you even think element matters
throw her on grave team or something, tf does element do here
throw her on any team if you need slight sustain in an off-burst
most solo raid don't strictly require healing
we have so many options for sustain
doll, cover repair, shield, heals
so I especially don't understand the emphasis on team wide healer being this major selling point
why wouldn't it matter
what dmg is delta even doing ele or not
and does she provide
to the team
aside from literally being dead weight
without "crown"
taunt + buff?
if you want damage taken debuffer
AsukaW and XLud exists, and won't hold back the team that much
AND won't waste investment materials because they are actually relevant units
looking at the last 20 solo raids needed a taunter
neither provide any sustain
not sure how to break it to you, but vast vast majority of playerbase can't do healerless SR most of the time
#1427932381091987547 message please read
read this too
that would hold true, if delta was the only sustain ingame
so lets see
who else can offburst sustain + buff aside from naga
rouge naga blanc maids helmT
if I need to scrap the end of the barrel for teams so trash
I wouldnt even reach 10% in SR
so your point is that you are sync 200 with no OL or dolls in any1
hell yeah brother
I haven't seen someone play devil's advocate for a cause this worthless in a while
you really think grave alone isnt better? lmao this is insane
if you truly speak for the casuals, you'd know Naga will be ran regardless of existence of core
look at the more popular SG comp against Merciless Judge
Tove Naga MPriv BSoda Drake
you do realize grave balice is quite common right?
personally I run it more often than I run healer-less grave 
I don't mald
0.5% every raid
ig I'm casual
you guys are around top 200 SR ppl too much
my naga did almost as much as bsoda
naga on coreless boss outside of sg/tia is just balice
and this is suppose to give you credibility when you say Delta is good because "sustain"
k
if delta sustain is good enough, she's a sustain that also universally buffs
balice powercreep
that's good enough to be usable for most
frog in a well!
carry on
aha, also
top 8% dont need sustain too
in the last 3 raids
but ig im the wrong one LOL!
?
ofc you almost never need sustain, look at top players???
but how many actually go no sustain?

8% is top?
you can get 50% no sustain running trash team max doll max core, what's your point
go ask an avg player to run that comp
Delta good because sustain, got it
that is the full extent of the rationale behind this take
completely discarding that she does not exist in a vaccum
better options exist as off burst
better methods exist on surviving
and better hills to die on exists
you wanna run xlud off-burst, you wanna run healer
what you do?
I would first look at the boss I'm up against
the rest of team members, gauge my options
then soon realise that Delta is, optimistically, on page 2 in my list of alternatives
going off prydwen tierlist in b2 slot, I would put her in bossing around A tier, arguably bottom A/top B tier depending on how high you value peak (1 element) performance
holy copium
seems extremely reasonable to me
A tier
B tier
although idk what leona is doing there
I don't need to speak on Trina and Arcana, we witness their value this week against electric weak
same goes for SHelm against iron weak
these three cannot be benched if the player wish to score high
ViperT is tough, water is a competitive element, but with enough ELE in OL, usable
if you think Delta can be compared to any of these four, you're high
what is delta peak btw
her floor is higher than their floor
prob a boss that wants to run helmt, maids, crown separate, no core
what
what, isn't that like the optimal situation for delta
no?
helmt maids off the table, naga off the table
who else you use as flex for crown
ig off-burst dps like mihara is possible
or raven
xlud prob depends on xlud invest
I don't think most dps off-burst will do better than 12% dmg taken for your hyper
be happy, she is really pretty
off meta is the way, one handed full auto
if having healers make it possible
you really do need to check some other channels where ppl post their runs
yes I check newbie
and help daily
if you are out of touch because you are in a bubble
please, actually you need to check channels
how many ppl can you find between 1% and 3% that run no healers
oh what's this, 88 rank with naga as healer t1?
must be ass

tbf they didn't need naga
that is for scarlet not to kill herself...
bad example
my trina actually solo sustains very well
can even eat a fart
yeah lemme find another
you want me to count naga on sg?
prob not, naga dmg quite good personally, so more than healer
1.52%, some weird ass teams tbh
oh look, Naga as healer t1?
and sustainless t5?
shield only t4?
how can someone be this... confident
t2 no healer
I like Delta as a character
but you don't see me huffing that copium this hard
why they running tiga over grave + flex if they can really go no healer on all
this raid is more healer-less friendly than most others we've had tbh
the more pending question is
why does someone who clearly values comfort over meta
weighing in on meta
? meta? you mean this line?
you can argue her being just below that line, I would be fine with that

I could very well see her top 200 usage rate being extremely low, maybe none for a few raids
if that's what you mean by meta
those same players would rate balice as pretty trash, idk her usage rate top 200, prob almost none as well
I'm not the guy who said Delta is equal to the likes of SHelm or Trina
she's better than dolla and marciana tho? and rem too
actually maybe not rem, maybe giga invest can be usable these days, haven't seen her in forever tho
Rem has actual personal damage, depending on investment
Dolla is BiS in Arcana team previous raid, in case you're not paying attention
Marciana? perhaps
when is the last time I've seen Marciana used
rapu is higher
rapu is higher 
actually marci prob doesn't need to burst, but heals are worse anyway
I don't think the dolla ranking has changed due to this raid
this raid sure, but she was there before this raid
in case words get put in my mouth
I never suggested this
too bad, ill screenshot
but she was there before
dolla is the same rank
not better
she is cdr
and 20 sec, somewhat good buffs
worlds better than delta for example
they don't really even compete for same slot, dolla competes kinda for b1 more often, so dolla is a weird one
b2 cdr is weird case
here are the guys in C btw
? you serious? ok what team
I'll prob have to scope lock, ain't building marci so her dmg is passable
bc marci is offering heals and personal dmg, that's it
in bossing, I don't think any of the guys in C except maybe novel can beat delta
actually its prob useless because im back to square 1 into healing crown
just use any team you like
and compare
mari can't even heal crown well actually
isn't that due to extra cdr
12% dr undiluted translating to 4% dmg gain 
the Delta differential
yeah her dmg taken is somehow way less than it says? something like that?
you need to burst to get all the dmg taken
12% off-burst
at 10/x/10
bursting delta is brick in almost every situation
or is it just s1
except some weird crown ones with dist iirc according to maths, maybe those changed
just s1
whoever else has it
this is like 95% of her value
12% is 12%, plus some slight sustain (boss dependent)
it's enough to sway ppl into using xlud off-burst and eve with rapi in hyper
well if you think 12% dmg taken is functionally worthless, then yeah there's nothing to be said, to you she's just a worse balice, worse sustain, same team dmg
I can definitely see where you're coming from if you have that initial assumption, I don't, so that's why we're wasting time here
I don't think 12% damage taken (at S1 level 10, off burst) has no value
but if she's meta to you, then what can I say? have fun your way
this conversation has been very unproductive
I never said she was meta (unless you mean the tierlist meta line), then she can be argued to be borderline
she's definitely usable
she is borderline unusable
yeah you put her C in boss neutral, if going by prydwen tierlist, that's too low
B minimum, A possibly depending on acc/player/boss
she doesnt belong to B tier
not even close to A
and prydwen tl is somewhat outdated too
as kisenix and snake talked abt
I don't have anything else to base tiers off of, yeah prydwen is outdated
I still can't believe I have to explain why Delta is not on par with SHelm, Trina, and Arcana
sometimes "sustain" doesn't cut it
I'm not sure why I have to explain why she isn't same tier/lower than these guys either
og sakura is somehow in B tier (prob never updated), delta is better than her
noise is also in B for bossing
Mast can function as max HP buffer, if lack of options
Biscuit, Poli has the beloved sustain that you need
Delta has 12~20% damage taken, Novel has 67% for ~half uptime
Sakura is a 40sec B1 CDR unit
- a lack of better options (for who? 2b?) is better than delta, who's
... good for those with a lack of better options - 40 sec sustain that offer no dmg without bursting is better than delta
- 40 sec b1 cdr in this day and age with like 6-7 better options (I think) is better than delta

Novel has 0% damage taken if you don't burst.
true
novel I can believe, never used her, but I did hear she was meta at start
I'm not saying Delta must be C tier
but being high on copium and putting Delta on A is also not healthy for you
Delta definitely doesn't fit in C tier
if you consider peaks over overall usage, yes she definitely isn't in A
Who is in A tier btw?
in neutral I sure would be more likely to use delta over arcana/viper/shelm
SHelm, Trina, Arcana, ViperT
trina arguable tbh with a pve built scar, but mine is ammo bricked now due to pvp
pick an element, ANY element, that has Delta having the same value as those four
lmao
...
so neutral, delta beats all 4 or tie
she does not
you telling me ppl running arcana and viper off ele?
you're telling me people will run Delta at all
no xlud, they run delta
how many units do they have to miss before they run those off ele
no...
using tier lists when there’s constant powercreeping 
lack of options apparently warrants a tier upgrade
because the meta for the player base revolves around your account situation and personal preference
got it
... yeah? at least in part? still gotta rank those outside of the meta picks?
why is novel higher than crow?
no one uses either rn
"me thinks Delta A tier because I need healing"
yea sure 😐 👍
you dont make sense
yeah same here, you guys don't make sense to me either
do you guys think she's C tier?

sure you can actually make a tierlist like that
what a perfect way to deflect
but that's not the one I'm basing this off of
did you read my review at least
in summary, "I disagree, actually"
there
is there something in your review that would somehow change where I place her in prydwen tierlist?
do read it if anything
you're so right, king
you rate your list how you want, C tier can easily make sense depending on how you rated the other units
I'm just going off prydwen 
so pull 1 just for goon?

wowsers
your review actually is even harsher than I would assume
a lot of dramatic language huh
you focus too much on her as a bursting b2
so C tops
what, would it matter

I'm considering delta burst as essentially not there
she's not b2 burster, she's off-burst sustain/buffer
it's the ONE thing that would make her stand out
but nope, doesn't fit my argument of needing healing
so didn't even bother bringing it up
i was under the assumption that bigger boobs meant bigger damage
actually maybe D
you essentially took away her s1 dmg taken, so now that I think about it
your review makes a lot of sense, with that initial assumption that s1 isn't there
considering that Liter has been meta for 2 years, eh
so actually pretty consistent
i apologise im still new
12% is not enough to consider anything
I disagree, but with that assumption, yes everything you said I agree with
when she is realistically just a dmg taken buff dead weight
DMG taken buff isn't dead weight 
lv7 is 7% iirc
Especially with all the "good" standard DPS being giga self atk buff bloated to push pilgrims
I think that's the new hoyo meta
If a standard DPS is good on paper it's a bitch to buff
thats just your assumption from the top of your head
dps ain't getting dmg taken anytime soon without becoming support as well
you can even test in sync lock to not waste materials
unless they somehow make it so only the dps benefits from the dmg taken
its negligible
Bready...


I don't consider bready a unit
she has dmg taken?
yeah but doesn't this also help team
Unfortunately sustained DMG mode requires sros who has a higher damage taken
as long as dmg taken is a debuff applied on enemy, the unit inherently gains support capability
which adds extra value to a dps
so if they do it, the value stays low
Or crust 
so it'll never get heavily diluted until we get a new meta dmg taken support (blanc 2.0)
Bready DMG taken buff is pretty close to siren
it is diluted in the formula already
Bready siren tier???
dmg taken doesnt mean 1 on 1 dmg increase
? isn't dmg taken a completely separate multi
